Explain 15x-8-3x=16 because I don't know

Answers

X = 2 Because..15 - 8 - 3x = 16Combine like terms 15x & 3x , since the 3x has a - before it, it takes that sign so u do 15x - 3x = 12x So12x - 8 = 16 Then you put the numbers to one side so you add 8 to each side to get rid of it from the left side so12x - 8 = 16 + 8 + 8So then you have 12x = 24 so you divide each side by 12 to get the x aloneSo 12x over 12 & 24 over 12 12x/12 = 24/12So 12x divided by 12 is X & 24 divided by 12 is 2 so therefor X = 2

••sorry if this is confusing i tried to make it as easy to understand as i could•• hope this helped! :)
